This Kid
July 21, 2011
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged about this kid. He is still head-over-heals in love with dinosaurs. We talk about and learn about dinosaurs every day. He teaches me new things every time the subject comes up (which is quite often). He knows and understands the differences between Therapods, Sauropods, Prosauropods, Ceratopsians, Stegasaurs and more. If you’ve got a question about dinosaurs let me know – I’m sure he’ll have an answer for you.
He loves to be in the water, and refuses to get out even after his teeth are chattering and his lips match his blue swim suit. He is so close to having the confidence to swim unassisted – if only we had more time to spend in the water…
He is very excited about Kindergarten, but I’m not sure his mind has fully wrapped around the huge changes in his life happening in 4 short weeks…
He is still my shy guy, and takes a long time to warm up to strangers and still refuses to speak when people he doesn’t know are watching him.
He is however a very sweet brother and friend.
He is still planning to marry Katie and have four children with her, though the names keep changing. He’ll give you answers to any questions about his future plans – the kid has their entire life planned out already.
Even though he’ll be 5 faster than I am ready for, he still likes to cuddle and will once-in-a-blue-moon wind up snuggled next to me in bed in the middle of the night. When I ask him the next morning why he got in my bed, the answer is sometimes ‘I just needed some more cuddles Mama’ I am happy to accommodate that request any time.
